Top Ambleside Pier Hotel Reviews

The Temperance Inn, Ambleside. The Inn Collection Group

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly helpful staff. Great beer and ale selections."

Wanslea Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"I've just got back after another wonderful stay at the Wanslea. I was there a year ago for the first time and it was so good I booked the same room (the Arabian room) again this year. Steve and Tina are excellent hosts and their big breakfasts are much appreciated after hiking Helvellyn the day before! Highly recommended."

Waterhead Bath Suites

8/10 Good

"Pros - good location. Short walk into town. Room clean, modern & spacious. Self check in with good clear instruction prior to arrival. Cons - Car park full so had to pay for parking on car park next door. No plates at breakfast only cardboard dishes which made it difficult to butter toast as the bread wouldn't fit in the dish. Would definately stay here again though & just maybe arrive earlier to get a parking space."

Quaysiders Lakes Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Quaysiders resort is an apartment/hotel right by the upper side of Lake Windermere in Ambleside. It is in an absolutely perfect location close to the lake, shops, restaurants. We stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment with a kitchen that had all kitchen amenities. Our Apartment was very clean and spacious . There is an indoor pool that was warm and it can also be like a Jacuzzi. There is also a Sauna. The resort also has a laundry room and dryer so I was able to do my laundry while on our stay. The resort offers free allocated parking. It was a very peaceful quiet place. The staff where absolutely fantastic. I can honestly say I cannot fault this place. We had a fantastic stay as a family and I highly recommend it for anyone going to the Lake District. It is in an absolutely great Central location to all the major attractions in the Lakes."
